I am a Baptist Preacher. I understand the fear you must feel for leaving the teachings of your family. The Bible states we are to honor our father and mother, and it can be hard to be honoring to them while telling them that you are not following their faith based beliefs.
I would suggest you speak to them about your new found faith. Your parents are not your enemy. They want the best for you. It is important to keep the dialogue open. Share with them, IN A LOVING WAY, why you believe Catholisim is the right path. ALSO, be open to listening to their concerns and reasons for following this path of belief.
In the end, we are all to seek God and know His truth. If we seek His truth we will find it. But we can only find His truth in the Holy Bible.
I would ask you to do this one thing as you seek God. Read His Word and know what He says. Do not trust any man, pastor, priest, or whoever to lead you. Let God be your guide.
Psalm 20:7 "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God."
Remember to put your faith in God. Don't place it in a denomination or tradition of faith. These merely provide a standard to guide us in our walk to God. All are flawed. All are led by men. Man will always fail you. God, on the other hand, will never fail. Seek Him and His truth and o ey His commands.
Honor your parents. They want you to know and serve God. Let them help. Let them share what they know and take it all to the Bible. Do the same with the teachings of the priests. Take it to the Bible. And in the end, let God be your guide.
